Hadn’t experienced any price change, until today.
Called into a hit and miss shop, in the burbs. Noticed a huge sign, screwed to the counter. $60-45 min, $70-60 minutes.
‘Oo yes’, ginned the 5/10 ML, ‘price increases’. ‘No worries’, was my reply, as turned and walked out.
Few klicks down the road, I stopped at a recently reopened shop.
Greeted by a 6/10 ML, everything was fine, until it came to the tipping discussion.
She wanted 4 pineapples for a 3 pineapple service. I’m not one to haggle, never would, the price is the price, imo.
The end result; she got zero pineapples….I got a more than adequate hour massage for $60.
Needless to say….my future custom is lost to both shops.
I’m with you, there are so many other options available to explore.
